Join us as we partner with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute for our “Out of the Blue” wine dinner on Thursday, June 13, 2013. Treat yourself to this very special dinner! Join us at our season’s final Wine Dinner highlighting the restaurant’s partnership with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s ‘Out of the Blue’ project. Executive Chef James Walter will feature mackerel as a main course, a fish that is rich in omega-3 and considered one of the healthiest fish for human consumption. It is also the feature fish for the month of June through GMRI’s Out of the Blue promotion.

The popular Wine Dinner series at Five-O, which feature Chef Walter’s Tuscan-infused cuisine accompanied by a meticulous pairing of wines, will begin in the restaurant’s lounge at 6:30 pm, with dinner served in the main dining room at 7 pm. The price of $69 per person includes tax and gratuity. We will discuss Chef Walter’s menu preparation and explain why specific wines were paired with the mackerel.

Since 2011, a team of local fishermen, restaurants and food service providers began working with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to promote certain under-appreciated Gulf of Maine species. The Out of the Blue project seeks to increase consumer awareness of underutilized local, sustainable species at Maine’s restaurants and food service outlets.

According to Chef Walter, “Mackerel commands a high price in the European markets and is extremely popular among consumers there. It is a delicate, delicious fish that is found in abundance here in the Gulf of Maine. People will be amazed at how delicious it is – and how healthy it is for you”

Chef Walter’s annual trips to Tuscany, and Five-O’s partnership with a renowned restaurant in that region, inspire his creative cuisine and choice of fresh ingredients in every dish.
